The Flora Cardigan

There’s something timeless about a granny square cardigan and this floral-inspired version brings a fresh twist to the classic design! Designed using my new yarn range, Bella Coco Merino. This beautiful floral granny square cardigan is a fun and striking pattern made by making individual squares made up of 4 rounds before adding the final fifth round using the continuous join as you go (CJAG) method to connect and create the shape of the cardigan.
